It's growing up, too. I am able to separate myself from what's written and love taking part in the crafting. It's like cooking, some of it's impulse and some of it's planned. Never the same twice and sometimes it's a royal flop. But sometimes? Divine (and I mean that in its truest sense- because like children, the finished product often feels like I had nothing to do with it).<br /><br />Good post, Joanne :)<br /><br />Happy Birthday to Andrew, too.

Evidence is Brad asking how many words a story is, and when I tell him, he says, "Wow, it seemed like lot more than that." :)Catrina Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759918426263780732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999930258339428520.post-91805209686141563602011-02-22T22:36:52.082-05:002011-02-22T22:36:52.082-05:00When our babies grow up it can be bittersweet.

My first poem was published (by efforts of my rambunctious mom) before I could even write.... then there was the typewriter era and now, my first blog with the help of Vonnie eleven days ago... and writing my heart now that I am "retired".

It was like a reality check. I'm sorry... exactly HOW much time has gone by? Now he can look me in the eyes (on flat feet) and is getting too smart for his (and my) britches. Sigh.<br /><br />And it's wonderful to hear how you've grown as a writer. We all get the blessings from that :) Keep on writin', Jo. And happy (early) birthday to your Andrew!Di Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09111404493202037409noreply@blogger.com
